The war with the Delta variant is not even over, and now there's the Omicron variant.

Seems like the light at the end of the tunnel is still not visible.

Anyone here suffering from covid fatigue?

[Notdumb]

Why 3 Dec and not next year?

Why 3 Dec and not next year?

Yarmai, too little too late. Goondu koon as usual is playing catch up with current events. 

"In terms of vaccine efficacy, early data suggests that current vaccines should remain effective against severe disease and death. However, more studies are needed to understand the actual impact of this variant on our existing countermeasures, including vaccines and treatments," MOH added.

Simi early data? Right from the start virologist oredy say too mutated until high chance of vaxx not working.

Now Moderna [the jab with highest efficacy ] CEO oso come out too say buay sai. MOH make their own ostrich prognostication.

This why stock markets are falling .....

Don't play play, it is very contagious even if it is "mild".

Why hesitate to take more drastic action ? - close border lah.

[Liews]

Same story.. new variant more deadly , cases surge. Lockdown and restrictions. , Vaccination and more booster shot. slight reopen, again new deadly variant emerge & the cycle repeats,

pharmacy and drugs company laugh happily to the bank

why must wait for 3 more days? can't they tighten the border immediately? what if Omicron viruses sneak in  in the next 3 days?

we ban travellers from South African nations entering Spore yet open border wide to European countries, Australia and the US, potentially Omicron viruses have already widespread in these countries.

Yes, why can't they tighten the border immediately, every day delay means the chances of getting infected grows....

[surfer]

Yes, why can't they tighten the border immediately, every day delay means the chances of getting infected grows....

Agreed. By closing borders later chances of new variants 
infecting the population grows more. Then CB starts again. Stupid MTF. 

[Sticw]

Horlan horlan horlan horlan...

And then say they could have done better on hindsight. Actually what we wanted was more foresight and less aftermath finger pointing. Lol

[ToTo]

Ask you all a question. Singapore, every business & everyone are & will get even more bad shape & situation....because of the virus & variants or the ministers, the MMTF, MOH, HSA, NCID, infectious diseases experts, doctors, big pharma, vaccine makers?

[Ola]

Fcking LJ, lah.

Just deport those 2 on transit. Why must tax payers pay for those tourists who are not even coming to SG?

[watchfirst9]

Yes,  a day faster a day safer.
How much can vaccine protect is a question mark,
32 points different in spike protein can make immune system not detect it as enemy till much later.

Anyway Sg should promote use of inhibitor spray, but they obsess with vaccine...

Since we  cannot combat the Omicron virus, we must take all measures to avoid the virus from coming to our shores. Prevention is better than cure....

must shut border with Msia as well, there are so many African migrant workers working there.

in KL I saw sexy black women working at night club serving drinks. Along the roadside I saw many African migrant workers resting there chitchat to one another.

Actually Singapore can just refuse entry but fully open transit flights. It's an airhub it should facilitate the movement to remain relevant... Any longer delay flights will just divert to other countries and place like Thailand which is more centrally located in Asia will take the airhub role...
